31:11 – Recognising two distinct trends on the programme of late, obsessive spreadsheeting, resenting new computer hardware, more thoughts around working from coffee shops instead of home/work, the computer dock and concept pioneered by the late OQO, and some speaking in between the coughs! Feedback from Chad Bowers and Dave on Onsug.com.

36:37 – Another trip down to Melbourne, so coming to you from the airport! Topics include authentic Melbourne/Seattle weather, growing up here, coffee shops versus desks, Stone and Wood, David Letterman, forex, loud friggen buses, some brief anime reviews (Gintama, Kakuriyo, Holmes of Kyoto, Isekaya Nobu, Frankenstein Family, Harukana Receive), puns, and other things unrelated to Melbourne. Prefaced back in Sydney with listener feedback from Chad Bowers. Recorded 9th October 2018.

Released October 2018 on Rubenerd and The Overnightscape Underground, an Internet talk radio channel focusing on a freeform monologue style, with diverse and fascinating hosts; this one notwithstanding.

28:02 – This could be the least-inspired episode title ever! But for good cause, discussing the Mitsubishi 380, Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee, a Rubenerd Show clip from 2005, and other Adelaide nostalgia. Also making a coffee live on the programme, poorly-sized thermos containers, and a recurring sneeze.

01:03:32 – In the first of what I hope to be many episodes in the Rubenerd Rewind series, we take a journey back thirteen years to my university dorm to hear Kevin Tan’s show! He heard me doing Rubenerd Shows when we were both studying in Adelaide, and thought he’d give it a try. Each of his six episodes are preserved and presented here in one easy-to-listen programme. Shows recorded by Kevin Tan in 2005-06, introduction recorded by Ruben Schade in 2018, and an Adelaide Channel 7 news clip from 2006.

17:29 – Taking a business day trip to Melbourne, and realising it looks more and more like Sydney. Also primate cities, taking the tram, evening strolls, and other observations. More California audio coming soon, just popping in for a hello!

27:51 – Join Ruben and Clara as they explore around Mission Bay in lieu of taking the Muni Metro T line, then across to explore the grounds of the Transamerica Pyramid, then over to a very foggy crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge. Intro news clip from KPIX5 CBS.

46:01 – Working from the San Fransisco office of the company I work for the next month, so I went wandering around Mission Rock, Embarcadero, the Bay Bridge, the docks, and a bit around the office. I’d write a more detailed description, but I’m doing double Australian and American shifts right now! Recorded over a week in late June 2018.

47:35 – Screenbeard, aka Josh Nunn, the lead writer and webhoster at The Geekorium, generously sent me his Commodore 128 in response to show 359! This episode is dedicated to him, and includes snippets of Clara and I wandering to an Australia Post parcel locker, and the official unboxing ceremony. We also talk about bubble tea. Recorded May 2018.

41:36 – I’m in Tokyo for AsiaBSDCon 2018 and annual leave. Too much audio to process! So for now, have this clip of Clara and I talking about our day trip to Odawara. Topics include the Train Simulator route of yore that inspired the trip, the Odakyu Luxury Super Express, walking past restaurants, Clara cat spotting, dango balloons, Odawara Castle, Ito En milk coffee, Denny’s, ikiben, shiba inu dogs, Foursquare/Swarm, and getting back to Kudanshita.
